Stephen Moss lives in one of the longest villages in England --
Mark, on the Somerset Levels: a watery wonderland steeped in
history. This ancient country parish has been reclaimed from the
sea over many centuries and today the landscape bears witness to
its eventful past, and is criss-crossed with watery ditches and
broad droves, down which livestock was once taken to market. These
are now home to a rich selection of wildlife: rooks and roe deer;
sparrows and snowdrops; buzzards, badgers and butterflies; the
iconic brown hare and the spectacular hummingbird hawk-moth. As the
year unfolds, Moss witnesses the landscape as it passes from deep
snow to spring blossom, through the heat haze of summer to the
chill winds of autumn; from the first hazel catkins to the swallows
returning from Africa; from the sounds of the dawn chorus to the
nocturnal mysteries of moths. "Wild Hares and Hummingbirds" is both
the story of a small corner of the West Country and a celebration
of the natural world.
